Dundee Buses in the 20th Century: Thorneycroft Daring DD

To help illustrate recent bus reminiscences in The Courier, here's a photograph of a Thorneycroft Daring double-deck bus.

These photographs formed part of our very successful exhibition that took place in October/November 2010. Once we are able to secure suitable premises we hope all 100 images will be back on display.

Five Thornycroft Daring DD buses, bodied by Metro-Cammell, were added to Dundee’s existing fleet of fourteen Leyland Titan double-deck buses in 1932. Numbered 49-53 these 48 seat buses remained in service in the city until 1947. Pictured on the far left at Dundee’s Lochee Road/Bell Street Central Garage and Depot is Thornycroft bus number 53 TS9869 along with a collection of other buses and a classic car. COURTESY: GEORGE BETT COLLECTION.
